⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Map of Military Operations and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 17 Dec 2022; pub. 0:05⚡️

💥 The Ministry of Defence said today that in massive strikes the previous day, decoys were used to expose air defence positions and use up a significant resource of Ukrainian and Western air defence systems. And it is true that the latest retaliatory strikes were different from what we have seen for several months. There were rocket launches, but no video footage. This may support the theory of decoys to delude the enemy's air defences. The question remains as to what options Russia used. And there is a strong possibility that the Gerani has a major new mission.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts over the passing 24 Hours

♦️#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

The situation in the direction temporarily changed due to weather conditions. Mud and fog are strongly affecting the intensity of the fighting, with artillery mainly operating. Also in the areas of #Petropavlovka and #Timkovka, #Kharkov region, AFU units were hit, the enemy losses amounted to up to 30 militants killed. In addition, a temporary deployment point for foreign mercenaries near Krasny #Lyman in the #DPR was hit.

♦️#Ugledar Direction:

Two militant SRGs were destroyed in the areas of #Novomayorskoye and #Shevchenko. Meanwhile, Russian artillery work destroyed up to 35 Nazis and two armoured personnel carriers.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the decision to prolong military service? Readovka explains.
